Nature moves right along on her unyeilding schedule. After a few weeks of incessant rain, there were several days of sunshine and warm weather.

So it was only logical that the buds should start to appear on the many naked branches of various sized flora that have surrounded us all winter. Most noticeably is the tree outside the front bedroom window. During the winter I can observe across the street and around the bend with bare branches being the sole obstruction.

But once spring has taken hold, those branches fill out in short order, and at least one family of Robins set up a nursery therein.

Well, the buds are sprouting, and the Robins are courting, so I'm guessing spring is here. Or it will be in a few das.

When I can no longer see across the street.
